Schoolgirl DJ Darcey Dimples looks set to be spinning her way to fame this festival season.

The 11-year-old St Margaret’s schoolgirl from Stoke Golding, who hit the headlines as the youngest performer at last year’s Hinckley Music Festival, has been invited to make a return visit to that event and has also been added to the line-ups at a planned Ministry of Sound event in the town as well as the renowned Strawberry Fields Festival in Heather.

Her sensational success has made newspaper headlines and generated TV interest.

There are even rumours that world-famous female DJ Lisa Lashes wants to link up with the musical prodigy.

A regular pupil during the day, Darcey takes to her top-spec professional decks at home after doing her homework in the evenings.

Her dad Mark Kelly, who runs Rods and Reels on Netherley Road, Hinckley, said: “It’s all a bit mad.

“First she appeared in the paper, then Central News got in touch, then I had a call from Lisa Lashes’ tour manager.”

He said he thought there was a possibility that Lisa Lashes would invite Darcey to join her on stage at RivFest in Nuneaton this summer.

Darcey was expecting a visit from a Central News team yesterday after school.

She is booked to appear at a Ministry of Sound anthem tour at Hinckley’s Leicester Road stadium on April 20, Hinckley Music Festival on July 11 and 12, also at the Leicester Road stadium, and the Strawberry Fields festival in Heather on August 8.
